i just took my boat out usually runs 140 150 temp well today i looked down 220 240! I got it back to dock so i wasnt stranded out (only like a mile from dock) anyway i got to looking at it. temp is correct. i pulled thermo housing off, pulled thermo out . ran boat for a few secs with impellor line unhooked and is pumping decently so i think impellor is good but not sure how much force it should have. its a omc 800 outdrive. then i unhooked lines to both risers and ran boat and water was pumping out ok i guess faster when i ran throttle up. the temp stayed low tho like 160 with these lines off as soon as i reconnected the temp went back up. SO i oulled risers off and there pretty clean and clear ran hose thru and water flowed good. manafolds look basically clean. so i am at a loss. WATER pump on engine? impellor still bad not pumping hard enough? outdrive water or exhause blocked somehow? any ideas guys>?
risers are $$$$$$ and hate to waste if i dont need....
